Previous hard to come by in the U.S., imported bottlings have begun to pop up at shops around the nation. But increasingly, American distilleries have begun producing their own versions of this classic digestif, with liquors ranging from vodka to rum acting as the base spirit. Look for domestic offerings from Skip Rock Distillers in Washington State, Watershed Distillery in Ohio, and Wood Hat Spirits in Missouri, for an updated take on an Irish Whiskey Hot Toddy.
